Looks like whoever opens the file /run/vmware-active-nics is leaking the file descriptor to ifconfig. Running restorecon on the /run should fix the label but the problem is the vmware instance is probably running with the wrong label.
ps -eZ | grep initrc_t

@Comment1: Yes I wanted to install and configure the vmware tools by the pl-file as instructed by them. I initiated the process at the command-line by hand.
I've not succeeded in installing the whole thing completely. As far as I have googled that might partially(?) be the fault of that vmware-script. (may not be related to this issue)
I'm not a pro, if I can/should provide specific info please instruct on how to obtain them.

Looks like it is tpvmlp, which has shown itself to leak in the past.
I would just dontaudit this
# grep init_var_run_t /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2alow -D -M myifconfig
# semodule -i myifconfig.pp
